August I think. Just bought some 2 days ago.

In ozz $47.00 for synth plus 5 Litres thats oouuch stihl are madYeah, and a local dealer wants 16.98 for a platinum gallon jug. Ouch. Still slinging my last jug of $5 clearance green poulan bar oil. Can't tell a lick of difference from the old Stihl orange jug. Maybe a lil sluggish when cold, but I seldom cut when it's really cold.
Poulan green jug for me, thick and tacky, but hard to find in my area. Yah, the 1 qt bottles abound. I'm going to have to try the black jug at TSC, it's an hour drive for me but when I'm that way...
I've been running the motion lotion from baileys, good stuff winter or summer. Anybody else using this?
If it is too thick I dilute the chain oil 1:5 with rapseed oil. Because the base oil is rapseed. No need to use mineral oil. That is usually more than enough.

Even Oregon recommends diluting the bar oil with kerosene or diesel fuel in really cold weather. I occasionally have used mixed fuel with success. In warm weather like now, I never thin the bar oil.
Yup - I'm using 100% canola/rapeseed too. Seems to be fine. I'm buying the cheapest gallon jug at MalWart, although they've gone up to about $6 recently.Been running 100% rapeseed for the last 4 years, much of it professionally, without any problems, rain or shine. It's about 4Euro a US gallon here; sometimes on sale for as little as 3Euro.
